She had corne out from Bath, England, ta assist her aunt in running the aid Station Hotel near the C.N.R. station, a building that is stili standing. Roy and his brother Carl developed a strong attachment for Boc'wrnanville and after they had moved ta Toranto, spent ail their holidays here with their step-uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Petbick. Nat that those eariy days had any particular influence on Baron Thom- son's career, ather than the fact that the happy times tbey had surely must have been responsible ta some extent for his cheerful disposition and bis ex- cellent sense of bumor that bas beiped îrnmeasurably in overcaming obstacles en bis way up the ladder of success. Some of the reports we bave read about Ray Tbamsan's career and this latest bonor wbicb bas corne ta bim, tend ta discredit the man and bis acb- ievernents. Obviously, most of thern have been written by "littie" people wbo haven't been nearly as successful as Mr. Thomson. They probably feel smre resentment for this ex-barber who made bis way ta the pinnacle by hard work, a -oit of luck, and a square-jawed dogged determination. We say tremendous credit must be given ta Baron Thomsan for his as- tounding success in a tough, rugged business world. He bas achieved wbat no other man before him bas done. Hie bas grasped his apportunities and made the most of themn with amazing drive and business acumen. Sa far as we have been able ta learn, hie has neyer been ruthless and inhumane in his deal- ings as other up and coming tycoons in the financial world have been in the past. Unlike most men who wield almost unlimited power througb contrai of newspapers and broadcasting media al over the world, hie had neyer used this tremendous power ta put across his own ideas or ta promote any particular political point of vîew. Undoubtedly, this has been one of the great secrets of his success and hie must be commend- ed for his rigid adberence ta this prin- ciple. We extend heartiest congratula- tions ta Baron Thomson an bis eleva- tion ta the nobiiity and the House of Lords. Whetber hie technically is a Ca- nadian citizen or not remains ta be de- cided. Sa fer as we are conemrned, hie is an adopted Bowmanville boy who bas braught great credit ta himself, his family, his chosen newspaper profes- sion and his hometown of Bowman- ville. May hie continue bis successfulî career in good health for many more years. Youth and the Law The following article that reached cur editoriai desk this week focusses attention on a grawing problemn that over the weeks bas caused us and many among aur readers considerabie dis- tress. We might explain that for many years The Canadian Statesman did nat include in its columns any court news, other than sketchy details of major crimes committed in this area. More recently, this policy was cbanged in the hope that publication of narhes of offenders and their misdemeanors would prove a deterrent ta furtber Iaw-breaking escapades. Always, these reports af court ac- tivities bave been presented in a fac- tuai, unglamorous way, featuring if passible the magistrate's remarks ratb- er than any glowing details of the crime itself, sa the cuiprit cauld take little comfart fromn the report, but ra- ther would tend ta f eel asbamed af bis actions. It is always difficuit ta say if our efforts bave acbieved the desired resuit. Our weekly court sessions have certainly not diminisbed ta any extent. Sa, for the benefit af parents especially we publisb the following article by C. J. Harris in the hope that it may do some gaod in stemming the tide a littie. Very few parents bave the occa- sion - or, perbaps, even the knaw- ledge, - ta fully instruct their chîld- ren regarding aur systemn of jurisprud- ence. The resuiting lack of information, in the opinion of the Canadian Correc- tians Association, is a factor contribut- ing ta the rise in seriaus crimes amang young adults. As a remedy the CCA is propasing that every provincial de- partmient oi education introduce next year a Grade Nine course based on a newiy-publisbed textbook, Youth and the Law. It is a proposal that certain- iy seems ta menit the active support af al parents. The 100-page text, published by W. J. Gage, relates the historical evo- lution of the law ta the rise af demo- cratic institutions, expiains the Crimi- nel Code, defines the raie of police and the courts, and reports on cornmon ado- lescent offenses and wby they are com- mitted. In addition, there are chapters an p enal institutions, the processes ai mebbiltation, and suggestions ta youngsters on how ta avoid trouble witb the law. The CCA -- formed a few years ago by the merger of two voluntary bodies, tbe Canadian Penel Association and the Delinquency and Crime Divi- sion of the Canadien Welfere Council - feels that in this field the schoois sbauld go beyond textbook study. Youth and the Law, says the associa- tion, simply sets out the ground rules oi individuel liberty, fair play and jus- tice. Tbe course of study, suggests the CCA, could include participation af juvenile court judges, magistrates, law- yens and policemen, and could possib- ly arrange student trips ta courts and police stations. The association feels very strang- ly that immediate steps mnust be taken ta cunb the crime rise. In 1957 there were 5,432 persans between the ages of 18 and 21 convicted of indictable of- fenses in Canada. In 1961 there wene 7,360 ai these convictions. That in- crease of 35 per cent was about three times the population groxvth in this age category, and one ciminal in f ive in Canada now is a "yaung adult." Nat many parents can explicitly iristruct their youngsters in wbat the law is, bow it works, and wby it is imperative ta respect it. Such teacbing is implicit in family lufe, and in many present scbool courses. But an explicit, Grade Nine course could be of great value. In fact, mast parents might find it beneficial ta tbemselves ta reed thraugh the next text, Youtb and the Law. Twisted Words Transposing the first letters or syi- i lables ai wards is a verbal failing wbich allen produces oddly comical results. '4 The champion at this unconsciaus non- sense was said ta be the Rev. W. A. Spooner, one-time Warden ai New Col- lege, Oxford. Indeed, we still call such credited with dozens ai bilariaus ones. He was supposed ta bave told a porter once that be bcd 'two rags and a bug' instead ai two bags and a rug. He also announced the bymn 'Conquering Ki ngs' as 'Kinkering Kongs'. Other slips attributed ta birn are 'half-warm- ed fish' for balf-formed wisb; a 'well- boiled icycle' for a well-oiled bicycle and a 'blushing crow' for a crushing blow. But it seems that Dr. Spooner was not the champion muddler be is cred- ited with being. On a recent British i Broadcasting Corporation program, Dr, A. S. Russell, a former Oxford don, canfirmed that Dr. Spooner was in a perpetual state ai confusion, but be up- held only two genuine spoonerîsms - the 'Kinkering Kongs' slip and 'Tbrough a dark glassly' instead ai 'Through a glass darkly'. But if bis verbal eccen- tricity was mild, he made up for it by doing same peculiar things. Once at a station, lie gave bis wife a shilling aînd kissed the porter. Another time be ask- ed a young nman in the university ta corne ta dinner and meet the new fel- low, Mr. Casson 'But I amn Mr. Casson,' said the young mari astounded. 'Neyer mind,' said Dr. Spoonier. 'Corne any- way' Perhaps the inost embarrassing spaonerisma committed in Northl Amei'i- ce was one which ceused the transfer of a well-knawn radio annaunicer f rom New York to California. Given the task of introducing a presidential radio ad- dress, he finîshed a long spiel with the ringing cry: 'Ladies and Gentlemen, the President ai the United States, Hoobert Hever!' - PETERBOROUGH EXAMINER. wa3 he witt ~ ~t4e~m4ubur Jac] aid heai Durham County's Great Farrn)y journalel Ivis 9 ~ural Established 109 Vears aqo ln 1854 a the Also Incorporatinq Mal iconi The Newcastle Independent # %I taný The Orono News 44IL 1< we 'Authoanzed as Second Clae ail bY the Pont Office Dept..

Ur- bane, sophisticated, the man- ners as polishcd as the glass- -s. Nowedays, the cocktail earty is a social monster witb 44 tales and one great big ffat Furst, therc's the guest list o prepere.

Miriam and Elmer go down the drain because Miriam always starts a figbt just because Elmer is e bit off e gilsqueezer. Then there's the boaze prab- lem. This produces an agan- izing session off eiementary mathemnatics, which esuits ln a reasonable figure, whîch you then double. And then tbcre's the food business.
